Answers:
You would be fine just eating 1 gram per LEAN body mass every day. The days you don't lift is actually the days you need the protein the most as that is when your body is rebuilding the tearing that happens when lifting, and in doing so, rebuilds the muscle stronger Health Question & Answer

1 gram per pound is more than enough, ignore the people who say 1.5-2.0 and over, they obviously haven't taken any college chemistry classes.

Extra amino acids gets converted to fat, and makes the kidneys work harder.

1 gram per pound is fine.Health Question & Answer
